At this moment, Yu Xiaogang still looked utterly composed as he led Yinchuan into a secluded grove.
Looking at the drifting clouds overhead with his back to Qian Renchuan, he deliberately put on an unfathomable air and said, "Yinchuan, you're actually a Twin Martial Souls wielder, aren't you?"
Qian Renchuan found this rather boring. This was supposed to be some major matter concerning him? What a big deal you made of it. Still, Yu Xiaogang had actually guessed that he possessed Twin Martial Souls. The killing intent in Yinchuan's eyes deepened. Yu Xiaogang could not be allowed to die so easily. He would teach him a lesson first.
"No."
So what if he had guessed correctly? He simply would not admit it.
Hearing Qian Renchuan's earnest denial, Yu Xiaogang, who had wanted to continue showing off according to his script, suddenly froze and blurted out:
"Impossible! Your Blue Silver Grass is merely a trash Martial Soul. It's impossible for you to possess Innate Full Soul Power."
"Master, don't you know that the prerequisite for Twin Martial Souls is that both Martial Souls must be of the same quality?"
Yinchuan looked at Yu Xiaogang with utter disdain. It seemed this old trash had merely guessed. This fame-seeking fraud had actually tried to deceive him—he already had a death wish.
"What? So that's how it is."
After being lectured by Yinchuan, Yu Xiaogang felt thoroughly humiliated. However, he quickly recovered and tried to salvage his dignity. "Fine, you refuse to admit that you have Twin Martial Souls. But your first Soul Ring is a thousand-year one, so I conclude that you wasted the potential of your other Martial Soul. As long as you take me as your master, I can teach you how to cultivate Twin Martial Souls."
After saying that, a glint of wisdom flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes. He felt that, after hearing this, Yinchuan had already been won over and fallen at his feet.
"Master Yu, I already told you, I don't have Twin Martial Souls. And a thousand-year first Soul Ring only seems strange to you because you're ignorant. Understand?"
Yinchuan simply refused to admit to having Twin Martial Souls, determined to frustrate this trash Yu Xiaogang to death.
"Besides, my Blue Silver Grass is a mutated Martial Soul—a top-tier Martial Soul. It isn't the Blue Silver Grass you can find everywhere by the roadside."
"Impossible. I've never seen a trash Martial Soul mutate directly into a top-tier Martial Soul."
Yu Xiaogang declared this decisively. Clearly, he remained convinced that his theory was correct. This Yinchuan had merely wasted a Soul Ring and was afraid of being mocked by him, which was why he refused to say anything.
After all, he had spent two years reading books in the Spirit Hall library. When it came to Martial Soul knowledge, he considered himself unmatched.
The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls he had published were even regarded as sacred scripture by those ignorant ordinary Soul Masters.
"I already told you, Master Yu, you've never encountered true Martial Soul knowledge. Your understanding is too shallow, so naturally you don't know certain profound Martial Soul principles."
As Qian Renchuan spoke, he gave Yu Xiaogang a strange look and teased, "If I remember correctly, wasn't Master Yu's Martial Soul a top-tier beast Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, which degenerated into Luo Sanpao, who can only fart? Isn't that a living example?"
"A trash Martial Soul can evolve into a top-tier Martial Soul, and a top-tier Martial Soul can also degenerate into a trash Martial Soul. Master Yu, do you understand now?"
"You brat certainly have a sharp tongue."
Qian Renchuan's words enraged Yu Xiaogang until his face turned red. One hand trembled as he pointed at Qian Renchuan. With a cold sneer, he said, "How uncouth. Today, I'll teach you that when you're out in the world, you must respect your elders."
"Heh. Did I hit a sore spot, so now you're lashing out in shame?"
Yinchuan did not care in the slightest. He could no longer suppress his desire to properly teach Yu Xiaogang a lesson.
"Damn it, brat! Today, I'll teach you not to be so arrogant when you're out in the world."
Yu Xiaogang's face twisted viciously as he summoned Luo Sanpao. Just as he was about to chant an incantation, a fist sent him flying.
"You!"
Xiao Gang was both shocked and furious. Shocked because he realized that he seemed unable to defeat Yinchuan. He had spoken his threats too soon. Furious because this brat actually dared to hit him. Wasn't he afraid that Yu Xiaogang would have him assassinated?
"What do you mean, 'you'? I've long found trash like you unpleasant to look at. You want to take me as your disciple? Take a look at your own strength. You're trash who can never break through Rank 30 in your lifetime. Even the weakest servant in my family has Soul Power above Rank 30. How dare you ask me to become your disciple?"
Qian Renchuan stepped forward and slapped Yu Xiaogang, who had wanted to keep talking trash, flying once more. He spun two and a half times in the air before barely landing.
"I'm from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. You dare lay a hand on me?"
Seeing that Yinchuan was not afraid at all, Yu Xiaogang lost his nerve. He only dared to vent his temper on people he knew. When faced with someone who would not indulge him, he could only tuck his tail and flee.
"You think I don't know that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect expelled you from its genealogy long ago? Even if they dared acknowledge you, so what? Ask your father whether he'd dare come and touch me."
Qian Renchuan naturally knew that his father had arranged for two Titled Douluo to protect him. Either one of them could crush the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect alone. Therefore, his father had told him to do as he pleased. When facing any hostile force, there was no need to panic. They did not provoke trouble, but they were not afraid of it either.
Whenever Qian Renchuan recalled his father's words, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. As expected of his great father. Even his casual words were filled with life philosophy.
"You trash have been swindling people out here, and you even wanted to attack me. Fortunately, I'm magnanimous, so I'll only give you a simple punishment."
As he spoke, Qian Renchuan positioned Yu Xiaogang properly and gave a rather wicked grin. The look in his eyes made Yu Xiaogang's scalp tingle.
"What are you going to do? I'm telling you, you'd better think carefully about the consequences of your actions."
Yu Xiaogang panicked. He was truly afraid now. This was someone he simply could not afford to provoke, and he had been beaten so badly that he could not fight back at all.
"What consequences could a piece of trash have?"
Qian Renchuan seemed to find Yu Xiaogang too talkative. He first used Soul Power to seal Yu Xiaogang's mouth, then raised a foot.
Bang! A loud sound rang out. Yu Xiaogang's face gradually twisted in pain. He wanted to scream, but his mouth was tightly sealed.
"Ah, I kicked the wrong spot. Sorry about that."
Qian Renchuan gave a wicked laugh and scratched his head. Then he gathered strength again and kicked out once more. The commotion was so loud that even Tang San heard it.
"Oh no, it's that trash Xiao Gang."
Tang San's expression darkened. He had said long ago that Yinchuan harbored ill intentions, yet Xiao Gang had not allowed him to follow. Well, now he had gotten beaten. Now he knew better, didn't he?
However, Yu Xiaogang was still useful to him, so Tang San hurried toward the source of the sound.
By then, the intense pain had caused Yu Xiaogang to lose consciousness. He lay passed out on the ground, foam spilling from his mouth.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Disgusting."
Qian Renchuan looked down at Yu Xiaogang's miserable state and felt as though his clothes had become dirty. Planning to head back and wash up properly, he swaggered away.
Not long afterward, Tang San arrived and saw Yu Xiaogang unconscious on the ground.
"What trash."
Irritation flickered in Tang San's eyes, but he still picked Yu Xiaogang up.
"Damn Yu Xiaogang, you already have a death wish."
Tang San's face darkened, but he endured his disgust and carried Yu Xiaogang to the infirmary.
